Security System & Immobilizer

GMC follows GM’s security ladder — VATS, PassLock, PK3/PK3+, ID46 Circle+ keys, and modern proximity fobs.

On the 3500 HD specifically we see: confirm by VIN. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

I lost the only key to my 3500 HD. What now?

We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.

My 3500 HD is push-to-start — can you program that outside the dealer?

Yes. Late models (2020–2024) use a proximity smart key — we carry the fobs and the programmer, and we cut the emergency blade.
